My original festival group is having the initial discussion on trying to pull this off. A few questions
- Does the schedule always come out early-mid August? - When do the late shows usually get announced? Quick to sell-out? Getting to the venues from the festival? - When would you expect wristband prices to increase from the $255 + fees it's at now? - Being that it's in the fall in Texas, do they have a beer tent with TV's showing football? Lockn did that a few years ago when they had it opening weekend of the NFL. - Worth the plane ticket that would come with it for my group?

- Does the schedule always come out early-mid August? pretty much, they should have the day by day breakdown before that though. - When do the late shows usually get announced? Quick to sell-out? Getting to the venues from the festival? after the schedule, only the really big names, not difficult, but they have some with early starts/they're open to the public so if you want good spots you probably have to leave early. that said the only one i did was deadmau5, the furthest from the fest, and had zero problem leaving and getting a good spot. - When would you expect wristband prices to increase from the $255 + fees it's at now? after daily's - Being that it's in the fall in Texas, do they have a beer tent with TV's showing football? Lockn did that a few years ago when they had it opening weekend of the NFL. yes, recently its been baseball heavy ('Stros been good), but they'll probably show college/pro in the earlier hours (I generally don't get there super early) - Worth the plane ticket that would come with it for my group? depends, people on this board seem to be able to get flights for peanuts, so just about what you want to pay. austin is also a pretty fun city if you've never been.

We're a sucker for Paul McCartney.
Very much appreciated.
Last question: When would you expect daily's to be announced?

For football watching, you can catch some of the games along Barton Springs Road at several of the restaraunts. They're only a 5 minute walk from the fest which you will ineveitably go through anyway (unless you come from the west entrance).
My personal recommendation is Shady Grove along that strip.
Tamale Cakes, exactly what I needed when I was hungover at 10am:
Got me thinking, slate of NCAA/NFL games, not all the college ones, but ones theyd be likely to broadcast at ACL. Will update for baseball when we get there.
Wknd 1: NFL - Broncos/Jets, Pack/Lions, Giants/Panthers, Titans/Bills, Falcons/Steelers, Ravens/Browns, Dolphins/Bengals, Jags/Chiefs; Raiders/Chargers, Vikings/Eagles (fun), Rams/Seahawks, Cards/49ers; COWBOYS V TEXANS (SNF, this will 100% be on) NCAA - LSU/Florida, FSU/Miami, ND/VaTech, Bama/Arkansas, KSU/Baylor, UT v OSU (100%), A&M/UK (they probably should, but it would be a solid troll move to not)
They've got a dual screen thing going with projectors, so you can see two things at one, looks like Boys/Horns will probably take most of the afternoon, with the Astros taking over a screen if baseball is on, and then whatever bigger games are scheduled around those in between.

ND/VaTech
This game was why I asked that question about the sports viewing. OU/UT is always a noon kickoff, and I'm pretty confident the Virginia Tech game will start at 3:30. If (huge if) VT beats FSU on Labor Day, then they should be 5-0 and borderline top 10 going into the ND game. Having the option to catch the game without leaving the fest would be nice.
I'm pretty blown away neither weekend has sold out tbh...
For legacy acts they really couldn't go bigger than Paul McCartney and the rest of the lineup is stacked, so the part that worries me the most is ACL not trying to book a similar lineup next year.

it's possible, that's definitely a marquee enough game, I bet if you cozy'd up to the beer tent staff friday theyd be able to change it if needed.

Just grabbed my tickets! First time seeing Macca since Roo 13. Furthest west I've ever been is Chicago so I'm already excited. Can't wait to dig through the undercard.
With Matt Helders playing drums for Iggy Pop at Cal Jam this year, the Arctic Monkeys vs Childish Gambino (vs Cowboys/Texans game) Sunday night conflict is 99.9999% a lock.

The fest doesn't necessarily sell out that quickly every year. Some years, like 2015/2016 iirc, saw weekend 1 tickets move pretty quickly, but last year I don't think either weekend sold out until at least early June. Also, I think that, typically, the combination of the OU game being weekend 2 + people wanting to see all the acts on their first go-round has helped tickets flow for weekend 1 at a particularly fast pace. However, with the game on weekend 1 this year, it's possible that ticket sales are a little more evenly split up.
I'd predict that we'll see one of the weekends sell out before June, and that'd be pretty normal.

brockhampton have cancelled the rest of their US dates due to sexual assault allegations against Ameer
im not sure ACL counts within those dates though.
Yeahhhh seems a bit too far off for them to definitively withdraw, but I suppose we'll know soon enough. That said, this seems like a perfect opportunity to correct the missed opportunity and bring in Vince as a replacement.

just scooped up some lawn seats for Florence + the machine with kamasi washington in dallas/Irving sept. 29. Should be a nice warm up for the following weekend.
I just copped one for Interpol/Sunflower Bean at Bass. Only show ive seen there was Primus in either ‘11 or ‘12. The 3D tour they did. Great venue but yeah, expensive. Ive passed on some good ones (FJM, Satriani, Byrne) there because of price.
